Brand story

Kyrgies

Some brands make products. Kyrgies keeps a tradition going. Every piece is handmade in a women-owned, fair-wage workshop in Kyrgyzstan, using a UNESCO-protected nomadic felting tradition, mulesing-free wool, and leather tanned with tree extracts. No plastic anywhere.

The house shoes grow from a simple idea: the outside world should stay outside. Everyday shoes come home from gas stations, parking lots, and dog parks, and kitchen floors do not need the recap. A University of Arizona study found the outside of everyday shoes carries hundreds of thousands of bacteria, and about a third of what's inside a home walks in from outdoors. The fix is easy and cozy: outside shoes stay at the door, and a pair made for home takes over.

Wool pulls moisture away, so feet stay drier and fresher, naturally. The same natural materials carry through every Kyrgies piece, each one made to soften and get better with years of use.

Universally designed, natural, long-lasting, and comfortable for everyone. Nice work, Kyrgies!

Why We Love It

Woven by a women's cooperative in the Alay Valley, soft enough for the whole family.

Ask your grandma about slippers and you'll hear about every pair that ever pinched. Kyrgies Wovens might finally win her over. They're the softest Kyrgies yet, made from thick, handspun wool yarn using traditional rug-weaving techniques by a women's cooperative in the Alay Valley of southern Kyrgyzstan. They're lightweight and flexible, mold comfortably to your feet, and have a slightly higher back for a cozy feel. The wool is naturally moisture-wicking and odor-resistant, and they pack easily for visits to the grandkids.

Made with wider and more sensitive feet in mind, and soft enough that the whole family will want a pair. That's Universal Design you can wiggle your toes in.
